Rachel Johnson, sister of Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, has shown she is serious in her support for the Lib Dems by going out knocking doors for one of their candidates.

Brother Boris may have led last year's Leave campaign and be Foreign Secretary in Theresa May's government, but Rachel is pro Europe and joined the Liberal Democrats to counter Tory support for Brexit.

And she joined one of the party's candidates on the campaign trail last night as she went out canvassing in Vauxhall, south west London.

Wearing a Lib Dem badge and sticker, plus another badge showing the European flag, Ms Johnson joined candidate George Turner and other volunteers speaking to voters around Kennington.

Vauxhall is a target seat for the Lib Dems as it voted heavily to Remain, while the area's Labour MP Kate Hoey was pictured on Nigel Farage's Brexit flotilla and was an ardent Leave campaigner.

Ms Johnson enthusiasically pushed the pro-Europe message on the doorstep.

She told the Evening Standard : “What Theresa May is saying is we could go off a cliff, but we’re still going to do this because the people have decided this.

“Don’t we want some grown-ups in the room just saying ‘can we have a pause and actually decide calmly, without having the far-right of the Tories harrying us, and calmly decide what’s best for the country?’”
